All People that on Earth Do Dwell (AOV1/25)

Another hymn set to the old hundredth, a setting of Ps 100.  The MIDI and score are available here.  Do watch it used as an entrance with all guns blazing here.  I’m surprised it got a tick from the NLMB being only 500 odd years old and from that hot bed of radical thought, Geneva.

My backings are a bit embarrassing after listening to the arrangement on Youtube.  BIAB does not do church organ well and they would do well to get some sampled church organ sounds.  On the other hand the silly faux Herbie Hancock version is for amusement only.

All people that on earth do dwell,
sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell;
come ye before him and rejoice.

Know that the Lord is God indeed;
without our aid he did us make;
we are his folk, he doth us feed,
and for his sheep he doth us take.

O enter then his gates with praise;
approach with joy his courts unto;
praise, laud, and bless his name always,
for it is seemly so to do.

For why! the Lord our God is good;
his mercy is forever sure;
his truth at all times firmly stood,
and shall from age to age endure.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost;

The God whom heav’n and earth adore,

From us and from the angel host

be praise and glory evermore.
